limb every mountain, 
Search high and low, 
Follow every byway, 
Every path you know. 
Climb every mountain, 
Ford every stream, 
Follow every rainbow 
Till you find your dream! 
A dream that will need 
All the love you can give 
Every day of your life 
For as long as you live. 
Climb every mountain, 
Ford every stream, 

Follow every rainbow 
Till you find your dream! 
















\fOli 

As each student arrives at Clark in the fall, he has in 
mind a certain goal. For some that goal may be to make a 
varsity athletic team; others hope to achieve a straight A 
average; still others seek to act in a school play. 

To reach his peak of success, each student must possess 
high ideals, a willingness to work, and the courage to 
face disappointments. The athletic hopeful may not make 
the team; the dedicated scholar may not earn a straight A; 
the would-be Thespian may never play a major role. 

What ever the challenge may be, we face each with the 
determination and zest typical of Clark teen-agers. Every 
team, class, or activity to which we contribute adds to 
our total goal. As 1963 draws to a close, we believe we 
have at least attempted to climb every mountain that 
Clark has presented to us.

and Library Provide Intellectual Stimulus 

Knowledge is furthered in all facets of a Clark 
student’s life. In academic courses, the conscientious 
help of the teachers awakens the individual to the 
wonders of knowledge. The library makes available 
vast stores of human thought. There, resource ma¬ 
terial supplements assignments. Students gather in 
the library during study periods and after school 
to complete assignments or to find books for reports 
or extra reading assignments. 

Informally, the Clarkite acquires knowledge from 
his companions. Throughout the entire day, students 
rehash assignments. Open discussion promotes bet¬ 
ter understanding of the subjects. In activities stu¬ 
dents gain information from many different fields. 

Total experiences of Clark life greatly aid the stu¬ 
dent in his search for knowledge. 

Students also learn outside the school. 

















Friendships Widen Interests 


Friendships compose an important part of each 
Clarkite’s life. Some friendships are fleeting, while 
others may last a lifetime. Some greatly enrich 
a person, while others degrade. Whatever the 
character of the friendship, it always adds to one’s 
store of vast and varied experiences. 

Activities nuture friendships. Meeting with 
friends in an activity’s special location is an im¬ 
portant part of the school day. Fellow musicians 
congregate in the bandroom. Aspiring journalists 
gather in the Pioneer News room. The athletic- 
minded assemble in the gym office. Debaters, 
photographers, and senior class officers converge 
on Mr. Erickson’s room. Even the teachers are able 
to find relaxation by retiring to the teacher’s lounge. 

Friendships begin with the faculty’s ex¬ 
ample.

Cooperation 



When Clark students organize to defend an idea, 
they strengthen their faith in reliance 
on a friend. Friendship thrives on faith. 



When it’s time to relax, thoughts turn to the topics of 
the day. Both teachers and students congregate 
to share in casual chatter.

in Organizations 

Sharing experiences is one of the greatest re¬ 
wards at Clark. Students work as an enthusiastic 
group in basketball, Booster Club, debate, and plays. 
The high caliber of these organizations reflects the 
teamwork that made them strong. Wherever stu¬ 
dents are going, to the sectionals, Washington D. C., 
Springfield, or over to Condes’, they go together. 
The group, filled with pride for its school, por¬ 
trays the spirit of the Clark tradition. Perhaps the 
reason Clarkites work and relax as a group is that 
they have many things in common. Everyone en¬ 
joys the “Twist,” “Jack the Ripper,” and the 
“Horse.” Decorating houses is another fad that 
keeps students busy. Messy lockers characterize 
everyone’s busy school day. The epitome of high 
school togetherness—going steady—is another ex¬ 
perience shared by Clark students.

Pietrzak Center of Homecoming Clamour as 


1962 Homecoming was the most elabroate cele¬ 
bration Clark had seen in years. The cheerleaders, 
faculty, and student body prepared for weeks in 
anticipation of the traditional pep assembly, game, 
and dance. Enthusiasm soared at the pep assembly 
Friday afternoon. The Seniors presented a clever 
skit based on West Side Story. The Juniors proved 
to be the noisiest class by winning the yell contest. 
Finally, Jim Stasny, Booster Club President, drama¬ 
tically announced the 1962 Homecoming Queen and 
her court: Cheryl Bazarko, freshman attendant; 
Marge Wisniewski, sophomore attendant; Lorraine 
Noworyta, junior attendant; Cheri Hoffman, sen¬ 
ior attendant; and Joyce Pietrzak, queen. 

The band led the hour-long parade through Whit¬ 
ing and Robertsdale. The Spanish Club’s float and 
the senior class’s car won the honors in the com¬ 
petition. The game against Hammond Tech was 
dampened by a pouring rain and a Pioneer defeat. 
A dance in the gym Saturday climaxed the moment¬ 
ous weekend for the Pioneers. 



As tension rises among the entire student body before the announce¬ 
ment of the Homecoming queen and her court, it also rises among 
the C-Club escorts grasping the roses, awaiting the big moment. 



Mr. Daugherty inspires the team and cheering section 
by filling them with the “desire and enthusiasm” to

Clark Improvements Add Comfort to Work 


After thirty-two years of loyal service, these exhausted rem¬ 
nants are being replaced. Marred by scratches and etchings, 
the desks are no longer useful to Clark’s new modern trend. 


Scratch-proof, fire-proof, and student-proof desks have intro¬ 
duced the “new look” at Clark. The student can no longer 
engrave their initials in these new formica top desks. 


A.V.O. boys prepare our new microphone and 
speaker system for an assembly program. 


School bells ring. Children sing? It’s back to 
old GRC again. But old GRC is tainted with a touch 
of “new”. Forsaking nostalgia for progress, GRC 
welcomed its 1963 facelifting. 

A light of wisdom now falls upon students com¬ 
fortably seated in the most modern desk facilities. 
So comfortable indeed, that now and then students 
have been known to fall asleep in them. To further 
the student’s home-away-from-home, vending ma¬ 
chines have been provided. Varying from beverage 
dispensers to fresh-fruit dispensers, the student’s 
health as well as pleasure is tended. The latest and 
most efficient speaker systems have been added to 
our vast audio-visual department. 

Our instructors have not been neglected in 1963. 
A recently completed teacher’s lounge replaces the 
makeshift meeting places previously used. 

With pride we hold our facelifted heads high. 















An extra added attraction this year was the installation of vending machines. Freshman Liz Kmetz 
rummages through her purse contemplating whether to buy a delicious pear while Sophomore Mary 
Ann Poracky inserts a coin in the fruit machine to get her apple.

Junior Class Play 



“Motion study is fine as long as it’s somebody elses motions 
you’re studying,” complains the Gilbreth’s housekeeper. 


Fun and frolic invaded the GRC stage when the 
Junior Class presented “Cheaper By the Dozen.” Six¬ 
teen players and a patient Miss Jeani Knapp, faculty 
director, can truly boast a successful two-nighter. 
Sixteen long days in preparation was enough to 
make this warm story live again. Our junior thes- 
pians proved to be just the rascals to fill the bill. 

Efficiency was Dad Gilbreth’s creed— so efficient 
that our own Lee Marcisz, portraying Dad, was the 
first on stage for those nightly rehearsals. The 
six sons and six daughters of the Gilbreths’, were 
guinea pigs for the motion study experiments. If 
occasionally the “dozen” proved unwilling, only an 
experiment in laughter would result. 

One such instance was the matter of the family 
pet. From the moment the frisky collie set foot in 
the house, you could hear Dad protesting, “Any pet 
that doesn’t lay eggs is an extravagance that a man 
with twelve children can ill afford.” The task of 
leashing the lively collie inclined Virginia Sroka 
and Karen Vasilko to agree with Dad. 

Successfully surmounting all tasks, the final cur¬ 
tain fell and the last of the butterflies flew.

Proves Theatrical and Financial Success 



At fingernail inspection the children get a welcome surprise as Dad gives in. Each child receives a 
gift, manicure sets for the girls and jackknives for the boys. 


Anne (Janet Macocha) hesitantly displays the pettis and silk 
stockings she bought, and argues about changing from old 
childish black stockings to the latest fashion, silk hose. 


Mr. and Mrs. Gilbreth check a new chart devised by Mr. 
Gilbreth for the elimination of wasted time. Mr. Gilbreth, 
an expert timesaver, manages everything with proficiency. 













Auditorium Sparkles with First Musical Merits 



“It’s never too late!” contends Lord Brockhurst (Ken Miller). 


May, 1962 marked the most resounding dramatic 
success in the school’s history. The Boy Friend 
was the first full-scale musical comedy to be pro¬ 
duced on the Clark stage. The directors, Miss 
Jeani Knapp and Miss Thelma Wilcox, overcame 
seemingly unsurmountable problems—teaching 6’ 7” 
Jerry Bercik to tap dance, training altos to sing 
soprano solos, getting A. J. Saliga to do the Charles¬ 
ton, and talking Ken Miller into wearing a striped, 
1920’s bathing suit. But in two months, the cast 
was dancing and singing through three acts with 
fourteen musical numbers—and loving every minute 
of the experience. The Friday night performance 
received the first standing ovation in Clark’s history. 

The Boy Friend is a spoof of the 1920’s. It por¬ 
trays the razzle-dazzle of the era down to the last 
“vo-de-o-do.” The stereotyped plot concerns the 
girls at a finishing school at the French Riviera 
who are tracking down boy friends. A hackneyed 
ending resolves everyone’s love affairs to the tune 
of “I Could Be Happy With You.” 

Just as a boy friend was “sine qua non” to the 
flappers so was the pit orchestra to the total effect 
of the show. Under the supervision of Mr. Snider, 
this group reproduced the two-beat, saxophone- 
heavy, cymbal-crashing music of the 1920’s. 


Polly (Barbara Hered) sings to Tony (Jerry Bercik) “I 
Could Be Happy With You”, as they dance on the beach.

Wide Acclaim 



“Don’t worry!” Percival Brown (Ed Jacobsberg) 
consoles Polly (Barbara Hered). “He will come 
back again.” 



“Come on baby, let’s show them that old vo-de-o-do!” 
says Bobby Van Husen (A. J. Saliga) to his flapper 
girl friend, Maisie (Linda Field). 













Assemblies Improve as 

The school year 1962-63 marked a change in the 
assembly system. Because of increased enrollment, 
assemblies were divided into two shifts. 

Assemblies were financed by the Student Coun¬ 
cil’s magazine drive. The Council held its own 
assembly to encourage sales to earn the money. 

A panel of representatives from four classes 
presented an assembly on the Community Chest. 
After touring Hammond charities, the students took 
part in a “Truth or Consequences” program hosted 
by Clark’s own Mark Moynihan. The panel mem¬ 
bers were asked serious and stunt questions. Wrong 
answers to questions found Tom Allison and Barb 
Hered twisting and Tom Snider singing. 

Students were enlightened in the facts of the 
March of Dimes peanut drive in a Talent Scout 
assembly. Other assemblies throughout the year 
were presented by the Vocal Music department. 



One of many assemblies for 1962-63 was the Earlham College 
Choir which spellbound the students during the hour program.

Participants Harmonize Facts and Comedy 



A Bell Telephone representative is about to turn these four Clarkites into a human tele¬ 
phone line. This assembly informed the students on Telestar and how it is and will be used. 


Senior Bobby Priesol demonstrates his musical ability by 
“playing the water.” The music from this new instrument 
was heard during the Community Chest assembly. 



Arthur Condo Godfrey rises as he introduces his next guest, 
Moishe Kokot Pepic, in the Community Chest Assembly. A 
wide variety of talent was presented at the assembly in 
order to inspire students’ enthusiasm.

This year Clark High organized the first card section in Sectional history. Here, are Miss Knapp and Mr. Mybeck shout¬ 
ing orders to the section as it forms a huge blue G.R.C. This section helped Clark win the Sportsmanship trophy. 


Pep assemblies boosted the spirit of the students 
before many of the important basketball and foot¬ 
ball games. The pep band playing jazz tunes, the 
students filing into the gym, the cheerleaders lead¬ 
ing cheers, and the singing of “Go You Pioneers” 
were commonplace at every pep session. 

Before the Homecoming football game against 
Tech, Mr. Daugherty, a Clark graduate, gave a 
rousing address. The seniors presented their take¬ 
off on West Side Story. Songs included “The Clark 
Song” and “Sargeant Halupke.” 

Basketball coach Steve Stavros addressed the 
students before the fierce Clark-Whiting basketball 
duel. Jim Stasny, Booster Club president, added a 
few comments on school spirit in anticipation of the 
cross-town rivalry. 

The assembly before the all-important Sectional 
Basketball Tournament was started by Mr. Lockey, 
who encouraged the whole student body to back the 
team. The cheering section, which was unique in its 
use of cards, took his advice and solidly presented 
a demonstration of school spirit and were awarded 
Sectional Sportsmanship Trophy. 


“Coach” McCampbell shudders from the applause as she 
prepares to talk to her “team” at a pep assembly. 













Dances Mark Victory 



Junior Mike Maruszczak was one member of this combo 
which provided the music for one of the school dances. 


Seniors reminisced at the Senior Class dance, 
“Memories are Made of This . . Several posters, 
containing the major activities sponsored by the 
Class of ’63, decorated the back wall of the big 
gym. Cartoons of the Ideal Seniors adorned the 
walls of the little gym, where refreshments were 
served. Barbara Hered and A1 Lewandowski were 
chosen senior Queen and King. 

The Junior Class earned money for the Junior 
Prom by presenting “Shangri-La.” They created 
“a little bit of paradise” in the big gym with the 
oriental atmosphere and a striking pagoda. 

Homecoming would not have been complete with¬ 
out a dance Saturday following the game. Home¬ 
coming Queen, Joyce Pietrzak, presided over the 
frolic. Hordes of alums gathered with the student 
body to help in the elaborate celebration. 

G.A.C. used a bit of sectional spirit at their 
pre-lenten dance. The Freshman and Sophomore 
classes added to this list of dances.

Versatile Class of 1963 Stages Prom then 


The big night arrived. Proud Juniors and eager 
Seniors hastily hurried to their pre-Prom parties. 
The Juniors were proud of their Prom arrange¬ 
ments; the Seniors were eager—eager to enjoy 
the Prom. “In the Still of The Night”, amid a silver 
and blue theme, dates, friends, and honored guests 
descended upon the Panel Room. A fine Junior Prom 
committee arranged for the hall, proposed the 
theme and exquisite decorations, and employed the 
melodies of Mr. Michael Golden and Orchestra. 

This gala formal event of the year climaxed the 
Seniors’ high school social calendar. As is tradition, 
the Juniors bore the brunt of the expenses for 
their big brothers, the Seniors. 

As the magic hour of midnight neared, the fren¬ 
zied anticipation of the Grand March materialized. 
The climaxical symbol of proms, the Grand March 
signaled the exodus of “high-steppers” to the night 
lights of Chicago and local areas. 

Enjoyment abounded and with no regrets, weary 
night owls made their way to the sandy beaches for 
a Saturday of relaxation and more FUN. 


The decorations for the Junior Prom, “In the Still of the 
Night” are displayed by Dan Pramuk and Carol Tkach. The 
decorations are the results of one month’s labor.

The plaudits and honors, trophies and awards 
from oratorical and musical, athletic and scholastic 
competitions have been presented and received. A 
sigh of relief, and well rewarded by but weary 
Seniors pause a moment and reflect on their final 
fling at fun as young men and women, as Clarkites, 
but most of all as seniors. 

The class of 1963 has been notorious for its liberal 
light-heartedness, but recognized for its boundless 
potential and lauded for its achievements. It has 
its brains and brawn, and odds and ends, but also 
a rare form of individuality. This individuality is 
the classes’ greatest achievement. 

Our seniors have fortified those extras that are 
part of every graduating class. Of course a certain 
amount of protocol was retained, the traditional 
senior banquet and graduation announcements. The 
class song compliments the collegiate features of 
graduation. Even without the extras, our seniors 
remain as graduated as ever.

Studying in the library or at home, typing up 
a theme or a term paper, taking a quiz or a final 
exam . . . whichever it may be, one can be assured 
someone at Clark is doing it. At the conclusion 
of each school day every Clarkite has learned 
a little more. Whether it was as small as one 
vocabulary word in Spanish or more complex as 
a physics problem, he now has gone that much 
further in reaching his academic goal. 


ACADEMICS 














Liehe Named Valedictorian and Recipient 


Cliff Liehe received the Bausch and Lomb Sci¬ 
ence Award for maintaining the highest grade aver¬ 
age in high school science courses. Cliff was eligible 
to compete for a scholarship to the University of 
Rochester in New York. 

The recipient of the Daughters of the American 
Revolution Award was Barbara Hered. After being 
selected by the seniors and the faculty, Barbara took 
a three-hour test on citizenship and government. 

Eight senior boys were selected to attend meet¬ 
ings of the Hammond Rotary Club. The Junior 
Rotarians, as the boys were called, were chosen on 
the basis of their grades and participation in activ¬ 
ities. Each boy attended the weekly meetings for 
a month. Meeting community leaders and hearing 
discussions on current problems served to widen the 
boys’ interests. Junior Rotarians then contributed 
the acquired knowledge to the whole school.

of Bausch-Lomb Award 


Clifford Liehe, with a near perfect high school 
academic record, captured the Valedictorian honors 
in his class, and Barbara Hered captured the Salu- 
tatorian honor. Gary Gardner and Tom Allison 
ranked number three and four, respectively. 

Gary Gardner rose from the ranks of the senior 
class, and became a National Merit Scholarship 
finalist. Thousands of students across the country 
competed for this high honor. 

The outstanding homemaker of 1962-63 was sen¬ 
ior Pat Mores, who received the Betty Crocker 
Homemaker Award for her outstanding perform¬ 
ance on a test taken in December. 

The Elizabeth Lyle Memorial Award was won by 
Junior Tom Snider. Awarded each year to the out¬ 
standing biology student, this award is in memory 
of one of Clark’s past biology teachers. 



Ranking two and one academically for the class of 
’63 are Barbara Hered and Cliff Liehe, respectively.

Science Courses Play Important Part in 



Freshmen Sandra Hanusan, Joan Norrington, and Carol Bellile watch their fellow biologist Lynn Dostatni take her 
chances with a stuffed baby alligator. By the end of the year the girls found this was far from hardest projects. 


The science courses at Clark provide a vital 
store of knowledge. Health, biology, physics, and 
chemistry explore the aspects of the physical world 
and its phenomenon. Man, the world’s most curious 
phenomenon, is analyzed in Health I. This one- 
semester course describes man’s physiology accord¬ 
ing to his nine body systems. Films illustrate and 
supplement the chapters in the text. 

Biology students realize that every living thing 
has certain distinctive characteristics. Learning 
these characteristics is a year-long project involving 
microscopes, leaf collections, and dissections. By 
studying and researching their topic the students 
are assured they will benefit. 

Physics is the fundamental science because it in¬ 
volves matter and energy—'two basic things in 
everyday life. Through experiments and demon¬ 
strations, students can see the subject’s usefulness. 

Chemistry deals with the materials of which the 
earth is made. Students learn the properties, uses, 
and discoveries of the various elements. 


George, the anemic demonstration skeleton, is carefully 
examined by Cecelia Brizina and Fred Morganthaler in one 
of Mr. Daugherty’s health classes. 











Curriculum of Students 


Physics students Buzz Madsen, Ron Leckrone, Wally Steliga, 
and Wayne Michalak get charged up with an induction coil. 


Senior, Marc Levin and other industrious chemistry students 
diligently study in preparation for classroom discussion. 
During lab period, Marc carefully adds an unknown sub¬ 
stance to C 2 H r ‘(C 1, H 33 C0 2 ) :i to see what happens. Evidently 


William Jorkon and Dennis Hornsby conduct one of the many 
physics experiments given throughout the year. This par¬ 
ticular demonstration concerns tne Laws of Pressure. 


nothing drastic occurred, for Marc was still alive to discuss 
the experiment later with fellow would-be scientist Dan 
Pramuk. 










Beginning Algebra to 


Juniors Jim Antilla and Bob Kukta use a “giant size” slide rule to solve a difficult 
cube root problem in Mr. Watkins’ advanced algebra class. 











Solid Geometry Pursued in Math Courses 


The student who is ambitious enough to pursue 
college preparatory mathematics for four years 
gains a wide scope of knowledge. The curriculum 
in Clark’s math departments consists of beginning 
and advanced algebra, solid geometry, analytical 
geometry, and trigonometry. 

Freshman algebra introduces the theory of equa¬ 
tions. Advanced algebra surveys the complete num¬ 
ber system. Juniors learn to work with imaginary 
as well as real numbers. The slide rule, permuta¬ 
tions, and probability are essential parts of the 
curriculum, as it is taught at Clark. 

In plane geometry, sophomores construct geomet¬ 
ric figures with compasses and straightedges. The 
Pythagorean Theorem serves as the basis for solv¬ 
ing similar and congruent triangles. The geometry 
course touches on loci of points, a difficult topic 
usually left for analytical geometry. 

A special math course for seniors covers trig¬ 
onometry, solid geometry and analytical geometry. 
This fourth-year course climaxes the math curri¬ 
culum with a study of Mollweide’s Theorem. 




Inquisitive, wondering eyes turn as a difficult problem is 
explained in one of Miss Booth’s geometry classes. Demon¬ 
strating at the board, an essential part of classwork in 
geometry, is capably done by Nancy Cervone.

Ideas Expressed through Writing, Reading, 




Jack Brodowski, David Winner, and Jack Greenberg listen 
as Ward Weinberg debates the proposition of a Common 
Market for the Western Hemisphere. 


Communication is the manner in which man 
makes his ideas known to others. To get along in 
the modern world, one must be able to express 
himself accurately and concisely. Literature, com¬ 
position, speech, and debate classes enable students 
to develop communication skills. 

In literature and composition classes pupils learn 
how to set their ideas on paper. They study the 
writing of great writers and study the points which 
contribute to good writing. 

Speech students learn the basic principles of 
oration. They also study Parliamentary Procedure 
and debate technique. 

Debaters, under Mr. Erickson’s guidance explor¬ 
ed the area of free trade and built arguments on 
both sides of the question. Debaters acquired speak¬ 
ing prowess and the ability to think clearly. 


Ron Novak delivers his rebuttal as his colleague, Janet 
Norrington collects additional information and quotes. De¬ 
bating in speech class helps the students in speech delivery.

and Speaking 




Miss McCampbell discusses the adventures of early American Miss Carol Krupa, teacher of remedial reading, 
folk heroes with Sharon Labus and Leonard Marcisz. discusses some passages with Dorothy Priesol. 


Diligent sophomore students in Mr. Meadow’s English class develop a basis for their 
future themes through clear, concise sentence structure. In later weeks they will 
concentrate their efforts toward a major task—that of a research paper.

Keeping pace with the growing need for adept¬ 
ness in foreign communication, the Clark language 
arts department has made repeated progress these 
past several years. 

Supplementing the foreign languages of Latin, 
German, and Spanish is an elementary French 
course. This conversational language, as well as 
German and Spanish has created an influx of enter¬ 
prising students enrolling in the language arts. 
The Latin language still remains the most popular. 
These young Romans resounding their “amo, amore, 
amove”, complete the enrollment of 270 in the 
language department. 

Such precedented interest in foreign language 
warrants some necessity in teaching techniques and 
facilities. Clark’s long awaited language laboratory 
will debut in 1963-64. The realization of the lab 
will coincide with the predicted foreign language 
enrollment peak of 1963. This supplement to langu¬ 
age instruction augments a vast repertoire of prec¬ 
edented study aids. The graphic audio visual ser¬ 
vices in conjunction with active participation in 
the revived aspects of the language through sem¬ 
inars, lectures, and clubs proves to be the ultimate 
concept in modern language instruction. 


Latin students Mary Wescott and Jack Greenberg present 
a puppet show for a special project. 










Grasps Student Interest 



Providing a break in the strenuous routine of Latin class 
is a friendly Latin game of Scrabble. 


TOP—Students of Latin combine fun with learning by trans¬ 
lating a crossword puzzle into Latin. This increases their 
knowledge of the practical application of Latin words and 
phrases. MIDDLE—Susan Greenberg points out Berlin, the 
center of the development of German culture to her fellow- 
classmates. Studying the background of the language is also 
a part of a language class. BOTTOM—Spanish students read 
over daily translations of stories in class to become fluent 
in their chosen “second language”.

Social Sciences Stress Taxes and Cuba 


The social studies department pursues its cur¬ 
riculum by inductive reasoning. In Geography I 
and II, freshmen receive a general impression of 
the earth’s characteristics. Knowledge of climates, 
topography, and natural resources forms a basis for 
further study in the social sciences. 

Sophomores learn about the progress of man from 
the Stone Age to the present. World history scans 
the story of man’s adaptation to the earth. 

United States history relates man’s progress in 
America. Political, social, economic, and religious 
trends from the colonization period to the founda¬ 
tion of the United Nations are studied in detail. 

Government offers seniors explanations of the 
theories behind democracy, socialism, and capital¬ 
ism. Students learn why man in his particular en¬ 
vironment formed a certain governmental system. 

With the study of economics, the science of social 
studies, the department completes its journey from 
the general to the specific. As the students progress 
they delve deeper into specific areas of study. By 
their last two years, students can form personal 
conclusions about man’s relation to the world.

Challenge Old Ideas

Seven Teachers Give Clark the Business; 



In preparing themselves for the future. Seniors apply themselves in Miss Coughlan’s 
advanced bookkeeping. Joe Nanista takes advantage of the adding machine, while 
others use worksheets. 


Joyce Pietrzak and Sharon Gootee use an adding machine 
to complete their assignment in business machines class. 

At one time or another, students at Clark venture 
into a commercial subject. Typing is the most popu¬ 
lar, and practical for use in other subjects. Short¬ 
hand, advanced typing, and transcription unite to 
form a firm stenographical career. 

For those who wish insight with the legal aspects 
of business, a business law course might prove inter¬ 
esting. On everyday situations, consumer problems 
gives ideas on how to interpret and benefit from 
them. Consumer’s education explains how to trans¬ 
late advertising claims along with the selection of 
goods and budgeting of the income. 

Business machines enlightens one in the use of 
machines through practical experience. Bookkeep¬ 
ing prepares students for further study in the field 
of accounting. Finally, general business offers the 
student a glimpse of now business affects his life.

Influence Many Lives 


Shorthand tests the skill and ability of attentive, speed¬ 
conscious advanced students. Miss Coughlan gives rapid dic¬ 
tation to increase the proficiency of the shorthand students. 


Speed and accuracy are the main objectives in advanced 
typing. Warm-up drills help accomplish this goal. 


Bill Kussy explains a problem to his classmates in consumer 
problems class. In this class students familiarize themselves 
with problems which will face them in their future lives. 










In a completely modernized kitchen, which Clark received this year, future home¬ 
makers Karen Vasilko and Nancy Wosczcynski follow a recipe closely. 


Creative Thought Varies the Fine Arts 


Sandy Fauth, Liz Oxford, Bob Seth, and Virginia Taylor dis¬ 
cuss techniques in Miss Morrison’s advanced art class. 



The re-modeled cooking room offered an ex¬ 
cellent opportunity for prospective homemakers to 
learn the workings of an efficient kitchen. In cook¬ 
ing courses students learned the rudiments of 
cooking, etiquette, and table setting. 

Sewing classes offered insight into clothesmak- 
ing. Girls studied fabric, styling, and the mechanics 
of sewing. 

Art students developed their imaginations and 
artistic skills while using the equipment in the art 
room. During art class, each student was allowed to 
follow his natural creative inclinations. While many 
students preferred drawing and painting, some 
made pottery and fired it in the kiln. 

Wood-working artists learned the use of the 
many tools in the shop. Boys learned how to use 
tools and how to construct items out of wood. 

Mechanical drawing acquainted students with the 
basic principles of the construction and design of 
buildings. Boys learned how to prepare neat and ac¬ 
curate blue-prints.

Hearing speakers for SAC or IBM, taking trips 
to IIT or Springfield, practicing for a band 
concert or a solo contest . . . whichever it may 
be, one can be assured someone at Clark is 
doing it. By taking part in extracurricular 
activities Clark students broaden their scope 
of interests. Clarkites are given an opportunity to 
show leadership. While in these clubs they strive 
to reach their peak as an individual.

The secondary schools, nationwide, scholastic, 
honorary group, comparable to the collegiate Phi 
Beta Kappa, is the National Honor Society. Ad¬ 
mission requires that the entering student be in the 
upper third of his class, and be of substantial moral 
and scholastic character. The eligible Juniors and 
Seniors pledge themselves to infinite enthusiasm for 
scholarship, promotion of leadership, rendition of 
service, and development of character. To these 
ends, the Honor Society is dedicated; and sponsored 
by Miss Veva McAtee, these goals are fostered in 
each of its faculty-elected members. 

To honor the scholastically adequate but journal¬ 
istically inclined student, Clark High School has 
established its chapter of the Quill and Scroll. 
Membership is achieved by any student whose con¬ 
tributions to the POWDER HORN or PIONEER 
NEWS have showed initiative and development in 
the field of journalism.

The axis of the Clark student government is the 
Student Council. As a group representative of each 
Clarkite, the Council is under the sponsorship of 
Mr. Buell. The officers, a product of a newly adapted 
election procedure, have successfully generated a 
general enthusiasm so necessary for an effective 
administration. A vital organ of the administration 
is the Council cabinet. It has been said that the 
prominence of this body lies in the names of its 
members. This reasoning proved erroneous as the 
cabinet has evidenced itself a powerful and con¬ 
structive cog in the wheel of student government. 
The representatives, the officers, and the cabinet 
have molded to form that necessary link between 
the student body and the faculty. 

This link has achieved such privileges and serv¬ 
ices as the installation of vending machines, provi¬ 
sion for student directories, sponsorship of the ma¬ 
gazine drive, and renovation of the intramural 
sports program. Such proposals have resounded on 
the Council floor, evolving to fit the best interest 
and enjoyment of all. 



Every two weeks, two student council members are selected 
to put up and take down the American flag. Marty Kessler 
and Sandy Psikula are displaying their patriotism and lul-

Under the direction of Mr. Darell Church, the 
Vocal Music Department underwent some radical 
changes this year. With the new gym class pro¬ 
gram, the Girls’ Choruses were able to meet three 
times a week instead of only two times a week. For 
the second semester, a fifth hour Girls’ Choir was 
formed. The Madrigal Group was smaller and more 
selective this year. Christmas caroling and perform¬ 
ing for community organizations were two of the 
many activities on this groups agenda. In February 
the Madrigals traveled to compete in the Gary Lew 
Wallace district ensemble contest. 

The new Concert Choir consisted of students 
selected from all the other vocal music organizations 
in the department. In the Winter Concert this 
group sang selections from Handel’s Messiah. Fea¬ 
tured soloists in the concert were Roscoe Grigson, 
Ron Burk, and Mary Jane Schwab. 

During the Christmas season the A Capella 
Choir, Concert Choir, Madrigal Group, and Junior 
High choruses presented a Christmas assembly for 
the entire student body. The Vocal Music Depart¬ 
ment enjoyed a good year under the new director.

Orchestra Invests in Chic, New Uniforms 



Sandy Fauth prepares Bev Smith and Ken Holman for an¬ 
other orchestra rehearsal. She passes their folio to them. 


For the first time in Clark’s history the orchestra 
had uniforms. Miss Thelma Wilcox, the orchestra 
director, Miss Jeani Knapp, the drama coach, and 
many parents cooperated in creating the outfits. 
The girls’ ensembles consisted of floor length, black 
taffeta skirts, white blouses, and bright red cum- 
berbunds. The boys wore black slacks, white shirts, 
and red cumberbunds. In the Winter Concert the 
orchestra made its first striking appearance wear¬ 
ing their new outfits. 

The group made tremendous progress this year. 
It accompanied the Concert Choir in the Messiah 
for the Winter Concert. The orchestra’s repetoire 
consisted of such numbers as “Sine Nomine” by 
Ralph V. Williams, “The Great Gate of Kiev” by 
Moussorgsky, and “Prelude and Fugue” by Handel. 
The concert in March and the solo contest in Feb¬ 
ruary gave students great opportunities to develop 
their musicianship.

The Senior Band, under the direction of Mr. 
Carlyle J. Snider, began the school year with an out¬ 
door concert during August. Selections included 
“Waggery for Woodwinds,” which featured the 
clarinet section, and Music from “West Side Story.” 
After school had started, the band presented many 
programs of precision marching at home football 
games. The band also participated in parades, two 
concerts, solo and ensemble contests, pep rallies, 
and the Hammond Music Festival. 

The pep band, a small ensemble composed mainly 
of upper-class musicians, performed at pep rallies 
and all home basketball games. It assisted the 
cheerleaders and helped boost school spirit and team 
morale with its peppy music. 

At the Winter Concert in January, the band 
played “Bolero” by Ravel, “Finlandia” by Sibelius, 
and “Triumphal March” from the movie Quo Vadis. 
At the Spring Concert, Mr. Snider presented the 
traditional band keys to all the graduating members 
of the band. A special gold key was given to the 
senior, whom the band members had voted the most 
valuable player.

Modern Dance Crows; Booster Club Stuns 


In the spring the modem dancers combined with 
other sectors of the girls’ physical education depart¬ 
ment in staging a performance. Techniques of ex¬ 
ercising, basic movements, and styles of modern 
dancing were demonstrated. 

The concentration of the group this year was on 
the inspiration received from music. Modern danc¬ 
ing requires a sense of rhythm, limber movements, 
and a flowing style. The group hopes to gradually 
improve its concepts of modern dancing through 
strenuous practicing. 

Modern dance membership was open to all high 
school girls. New members were chosen on the basis 
of their poise, coordination, cooperation, initiative, 
and regularity of attendance. The group met for 90 
minutes on Tuesday nights. Before working with 
music, the girls limbered up with exercises. This 
year new exercises were added to challenge the 
girls’ endurance. The major part of each rehearsal 
was spent in creating original dances. By the end 
of the year, the student body could witness the 
achievements of the group. 


Sharon Gabbert, a member of the Modern Dance group, 
demonstrates her dancing skill and agility. 













Sounds of “Mighty Proud of It, G. R. C.” and 
“Pioneers, Pioneers, Go! Go!” could be heard echo¬ 
ing from the popular Booster Club. A valuable asset 
to the varsity cheerleaders, the Booster Club was 
one of the largest and most widely supported organ¬ 
izations. To instill a sense of sportsmanship in the 
avid Clark fans was the prime objective of the 
“Boosters.” With enthusiastic supervision of Miss 
Jeani Knapp, the “Boosters” strive for a rousing 
Clark cheering section. Countless projects have 
been designed to boost the morale of the Clark ath¬ 
letic teams and send them on to victory. 

The sale of the ever popular booster button was 
the major source of revenue for the club. This but¬ 
ton was proudly worn in the blue-white cheering 
section, which was lauded at home games as well as 
games away. The sponsorship of booster caravans to 
out of town games, a renovated cheering bloc, and a 
proposed card section all enhanced the Clark cheer¬ 
ing section making it the essence of sportsmanship.

“Stage Crew members must never be seen or 
heard.” This requirement was preached during the 
first activity period of each month by Miss Jeani 
Knapp, the group’s sponsor. For the first time in 
years, the membership of Stage Crew was limited. 
Ten theatrical-minded, dependable students con¬ 
stitute the organization. These individuals pulled 
curtains, operated lights, and moved scenery for all 
assemblies, concerts, and plays. Experienced mem¬ 
bers were in charge of make-up for plays. Operating 
the new speaker system in the auditorium greatly 
enhanced the technical ability of the group. Stage 
Crew also constructed the float for the Homecoming 
Queen and her court. This year the paper-flower 
float was composed of five coronets and bore the 
slogan, “Midas well face it; we’ve got the touch 
down!” The entry won second place. 

Fun and excitement characterized only a segment 
of the crew’s activities. Sweeping the stage and 
cleaning the prop room were responsibilities rarely 
considered glamorous. Thus, the unofficial motto 
of the group is “Stage Crew will never die, but just 
perspire away.” 


Wardrobe mistresses Mary Ann Poracky and Marge Wisniew¬ 
ski check over some costumes to be used in the next play.

As a member of the stage crew, senior Mark Moynihan is

Opening and closing the curtain is just one of the jobs he 
may be asked to perform.

Y-Teens Adopt Little Sisters; Hi-Y Pop 


Y-Teens is the high school branch of the Young 
Women’s Christian Association. Its goals as a serv¬ 
ice group are to promote friendship between girls 
of all races and religions throughout the world. 

The Clark Y-Teens, sponsored by Miss Wilcox, 
were quite active. Early in the year, each member 
chose a little sister at the East Chicago Carmelite 
Orphanage for Girls. Each Y-Teen visited her sister, 
wrote to her, and most important, remembered her 
birthday. A panel discussion sponsored by the Y- 
Teens gave Jim Stasny, Tom Allison, Buck Makis, 
Greg Terranova, and A1 Berger a chance to com¬ 
ment on the opposite sex. They frankly aired their 
opinions on girls, their dress, conduct, and hair 
styles. They also answered the Y-Teens’ questions. 

Y-Teens raised money for their activities by sel¬ 
ling potato chips in March and yearbook covers in 
the spring. The money sent two girls to the state¬ 
wide Summer Y-Teens Conference at Lake Wawasee, 
Indiana. Y-Teens contributed to the Booster Club 
drive to improve the cheering section, and to the 
Hayward Memorial Fund.

the many Y-Teen’s projects—selling potato chips.

“To create, maintain, and extend throughout the 
home, school, and community, high standards of 
Christian characterthis is the purpose of the Hi- 
Y. This year the Hi-Y was redivided and a fresh¬ 
man club, sponsored by Mr. Wilkinson, was formed 
for the first time. In addition, there is a sophmore, 
junior, and senior club sponsored by Mr. Watkins. 

The sophomore, junior, senior Hi-Y donated 
money from two paper drives, pop sales, and coat 
check at school dances to the world service project. 

Another project of the sophomore, junior, senior 
Hi-Y was the series of daily morning religious serv¬ 
ices which were held the week before Easter. For 
these services, speakers were obtained from various 
churches in the surrounding area. 

An activity in its second year for Hi-Y is the an¬ 
nual Hi-Y city basketball tournament. This year 
the Clark club sponsored this activity. The tourna¬ 
ment was held in the Clark gym and six teams 
from three of the Hammond high schools partici¬ 
pated in the sometimes wild competition.

One of the many service projects of the Junior Red Cross 
is filling gift boxes to be sent overseas. Louise Clark and 
Jim Smolar are preparing Clark’s boxes for shipment. 



George Rogers Clark’s Red Cross, which was 
formerly called the Junior Red Cross, completed 
several major projects this year. The organization 
sent a large gift chest filled with educational and 
recreational articles to a high school overseas. Indi¬ 
viduals in foreign countries received special gift 
boxes during the holiday season. The third project 
consisted of sending gifts and knickknacks to Beatty 
Memorial Hospital and a local veterans’ hospital. 

The homerooms played an essential role in sup¬ 
plying canned food and warm clothing for the group 
to distribute. Thirteen boxes of this food and cloth¬ 
ing were given to underprivileged children in the 
Calumet Region. The Red Cross also donated two 
Christmas gifts to the Good Cheer Project. 

In the spring, Janet Duncan and Louise Clark 
organized a special charity project. The results of 
this humanitarian effort were quite successful. The 
Veterans’ Project, under the leadership of John 
Buchner and Leonard Shifflett, also verified the 
group’s slogan, “We believe in service for others.”

Romans Auction Off Members to Bidders 



Latin Club activities include freshman initiation, banquet and 
Saturnalia preparation, and the infamous Olympic Games. 




“Io Saturnalia!” This greeting to Latin students 
is as common as “Merry Christmas” is to us. It 
means hail Saturn. He was the god which the Rom¬ 
ans honored in December. During this time of the 
year the Latin Club held a Saturnalia party at 
which games of original Roman origin are played. 

Another activity of the club was the slave auc¬ 
tion. At this auction, freshman members were put 
up for sale to the highest bidder. These freshmen 
must list their attributes and flaws to enable the 
bidders to pick the one best-suited for the need. The 
money from this auction was used as the club’s 
chief source of income. 

Along with these two events, the monthly meet¬ 
ings provided a time for members to better acquaint 
themselves with Ancient Rome’s culture. 










Under the able leadership of sponsor, Mrs. Miller, the Ger¬ 
man Club members participated in many activities. Activities 
of the club included having a Christmas party and singing. 


German Club, sponsored by Mrs. R. Miller meets 
every third Wednesday during Activity Period. 
Members of the German Club strive for greater un¬ 
derstanding of the Germans and their language. 

At a Christmas party for all German I and II 
students, the German Club presented the play, “Die 
Frohlichsten Weihnachten.” Other activities in¬ 
cluded making bookmarks with famous German and 
American sayings on them, singing German songs, 
playing games in German, and learning about the 
history of Germany. 

The members of the German Club realized the 
importance of talking a language frequently while 
mastering it. The German Club also aided the lan¬ 
guage department by buying new language records.

Spanish Life Explained 


Winning first place in the Homecoming Float 
competition began a year full of activities for mem¬ 
bers of the Spanish Club. Their theme was “We’re 
no fan of Tech’s,” and effort was put forth by all. 

Presiding over their monthly meetings was Jan 
Michalak, president. Assisting her in duties were 
Barbara Vaughan, vice-president; Tim Simko, secre¬ 
tary; and Bob Kovacich, treasurer. Mrs. Judith 
Stoelting is club sponsor. 

At the meetings, Spanish customs and ways of 
life are introduced, explained, and discussed. They 
also venture into the world of Spanish music, sing¬ 
ing it to better acquaint themselves with the use of 
the Spanish language. 



Spanish Club members gather around Mrs. Stoelting as she 
strums a gay Spanish tune for them to dance. Singing and 
dancing are a couple of the favorite club activities.

Frenchmen Come to Clark; Literary Club 


The formation of the French Club immediately 
followed the addition of French to the list of aca¬ 
demic subjects taught at Clark. The French Club 
enables students of French to delve deeply into the 
language and customs of France. The French Club 
adds to the knowledge of the students in their daily 
French classes. 

During the club meetings, members of the French 
Club sang many songs like Allouette and Sur Le 
Pont d’Avignon. Students also constructed book¬ 
marks with French proverbs on them. To earn 
money, the French Club sponsored a raffle in Feb¬ 
ruary. Prizes included a portable phonograph, stuf¬ 
fed animal, and a free night of bowling. The last 
activity of the French Club was a Gallic dance. 


Participating in one of the many activities of the French 
Club are these members studying French customs, Cheri 
Ihnat, Kathy Wild, and Mike Janek. In the first year of 
organization, the club did many things.

Discusses Folk Music 

Members of the Literary Club enjoyed reading 
plays and poetry, telling stories from folklore, and 
listening to folk music. This year the group’s agenda 
included a trip to Chicago to see a play, a visit to 
the Chicago Public Library, and a tour of the Chica¬ 
go Historical Society. A gala Christmas party was 
the height of the year’s activities. 

Students who are interested in creative writing 
had an opporunity to share their original work and 
receive assistance in the fine points of style and 
grammar. Practicing oral interpretations was an¬ 
other project of the group. By means of a tape re¬ 
corder, these interpretations were reviewed and 
critically analyzed. Students studied the inflections 
of their voices in order to improve pronunciation. 

The Literary Club is sponsored by Miss Carolyn 
Lambert, a high school English teacher. Twenty- 
three students interested in the humanities compose 
the organization. Barbara Reid and Paul Nickel 
were president and secretary-treasurer, respectively. 



Some of the members of the Literary Club gather around 
Miss Lambert’s newly installed book shelf. The shelf is 
widely used by the club members for their research.

Photo Club Provides Top Service; A.V.O. 


Membership in the Photography Club was treas¬ 
ured by all its members, for Mr. Erickson hand-pics 
its members. The club gave the boys a better under¬ 
standing of the use of their cameras, and introduc¬ 
ing new methods to aid in better picture taking. 

Their activity never ceased. Whether it was a 
picture to take for the Powder Horn, or a special 
picture for an edition of the Pioneer News, the boys, 
headed by chief photographer Brant Olds, were 
snapping the shutter. Gym coaches often requested 
pictures of the outstanding athletes, while the boys 
automatically cover the varsity competition. Clubs 
may request their service to take pictures at any 
special functions or events. 

The Dark Room, in 223, served as the hive of 
their activity. Here the boys spent hours developing 
their own pictures. They could enlarge a print ten 
times, or make it half as big. They made one pic¬ 
ture from two prints by using cutouts. With the 
addition of a new print dryer, the club had a more 
efficient way of producing better prints faster. 
Clark shutterbugs now have a medium to improve 
and share their hobby. 

Juniors, Stanley Kalwinski and Terry Tomko, members of 
Clark’s snappy Photography Club prepare to dry some glossy 
prints in the dryer. These prints are to be used in the year¬ 
book.

Purchase of a new arc projector and electric 
screen for the auditorium highlighted the year’s 
activities for the Audio-Visual Operators’ Club. The 
club, under the direction of Mr. Paul Wilkinson, 
also obtained a new public address system for the 
auditorium and a new amplifier for the gym. The 
A. V. 0. members helped teachers supplement class¬ 
room work by the use of movie, slide, and filmstrip 
projectors. Other A. V. 0. equipment includes tape 
recorders, opaque projectors, and microphones. 
A. V. 0. boys ran the G. R. C. public address system 
and provided music for the dances held during the 
school year in the gym. 

The sixty members of the club were led by Dan 
Dziadosz, president; Wayne Chovan, vice-president; 
Leszek Potapowicz, secretary; and Ron Eberle, 
treasurer. Recreational activities of the club includ¬ 
ed a basketball party during Christmas vacation 
and softball games during the spring meetings. The 
club obtained its revenue from the fruit machine in 
the lunch room. A. V. O. meetings were held during 
Wednesday’s activity period. The beginning mem¬ 
bers of the club met on the second Wednesday.

The Nurses’ Club was composed of high school 
students approved by their homeroom teachers, and 
by Mrs. Miller, the club’s sponsor. The purpose of 
Nurses’ Club was to acquaint students with medical 
institutions. Students were given interviews to de¬ 
termine whether or not they were qualified to enter 
a career of nursing. Personality and intelligence 
were prime factors in determining a girl’s aptitude. 

This year the club had 155 members. Because of 
this increased membership, Mrs. Snider, the English 
teacher, was appointed co-sponsor. Mrs. Miller and 
Mrs. Snider selected the year’s program and tried 
to channel the girls into the right career. 

During the first semester the meetings featured 
films on the history of nursing and a speaker from 
the Lake County Cancer Society. During the 
Thanksgiving holidays, 35 girls visited a local hospi¬ 
tal. The program for the second semester included 
a film on Project Hope, and speakers from the Lake 
County Heart Association, Wesley Memorial Hospi¬ 
tal, the Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion 
County, and the Hammond Health Department. 

The group purchased the series of films about 
the history of nursing and a tooth-and-brush model 
for health instructions. 












Hosts SAC Speaker 


The Forum Club is the newest activity at Clark. 
Juniors and seniors, under the guidance of Mr. 
Heslin and Mr. Charlet, explore social studies. The 
objectives of the Forum Club are to interest and to 
inform students about current affairs. 

Activities of the Forum Club include lectures, 
movies, and field trips. A representative of the 
Strategic Air Command was engaged to present a 
lecture and to show a movie dealing with air de¬ 
fense. A member of the Peace Corps explained the 
foreign policy of the New Frontier. A tour conduct¬ 
ed by the Calumet Harbor Authority informed stu¬ 
dents about the assets of the Calumet area. The 
largest venture was a trip to Springfield, Illinois. 
Students explored Lincoln’s home and tomb and the 
Illinois State Capitol Building. 

Forum Club president, Marty Kessler conducts a monthly 
meeting. An interesting program is given monthly for its 
members.

The Future Teachers of America Club, sponsored 
by Miss McCampbell, encourages students to enter 
the teaching profession. At the monthly meetings, 
speakers informed students about college life and 
job opportunities. Each student teacher at Clark 
was allotted one meeting to express his opinions 
about teaching. Some members of F.T.A. assisted 
teaching in the elementary grades. 

F. T. A. members served refreshments at P.T.A. 
meetings and operate check rooms at various school 
activities. At the end of each year the seniors are 
rewarded for their efforts at an honor banquet. 

The Future Secretaries Club is organized for the 
girls preparing for secretarial careers. Through 
the many club activities the girls achieve a more 
complete understanding of the responsibilities they 
will hold as secretaries of tomorrow. 

During the meetings held every fourth Wednes¬ 
day, speakers lectured the girls about the business 
world. Representatives from industry demonstrated 
machinery, stressed efficiency, good grooming and 
cooperation. Alumnae who had entered the business 
world returned to Clark and informed the girls 
about job opportunities.

Library, Biology Clubs Travel and Learn 


A get-together at the beginning of the year began 
the numerous activities of the Library Club. Some 
of the other interesting activities included decorat¬ 
ing the library’s Christmas tree, planning a Christ¬ 
mas party, conducting a fund-raising drive, enjoy¬ 
ing the annual picnic, and traveling to the John 
Crerar Library at the Illinois Institute of Tech¬ 
nology in Chicago. 

All members must earn above-average grades and 
show the willingness to work hard. Devoting hours 
each day to the care of books and magazines was 
the major responsibility of a Library Club member. 

Biology Club, under the leadership of Mr. Edward 
Powell, consisted of thirty scientific-minded Clark- 
ites. Their activities included trips to the Indiana 
Dunes State Park, near Chesterton, and Chicago’s 
Brookfield Zoo. 

In these excursions the local fauna and flora 
were extensively analyzed. Members were expected 
to keep up with modern scientific advances by read¬ 
ing and conducting experimental research. Soil 
tests and respiration tests greatly increased the 
scientific knowledge of the students.

Pioneer News Completes Thirtieth Year; 



As one passed the school late on a Thursday 
night, he may see a light from room 223. It was not 
the janitors cleaning up or even prowlers, but the 
alert, wide-awake staff of the Pioneer News. Since 
the service of the P.N. must continue in spite of 
torn stencils or late deadlines, often these budding 
young journalists were late in getting through. 

To produce the Pioneer Neivs much thought, plan¬ 
ning, and man power were needed. The 1962-1963 
Pioneer Neivs was again noted by special editions. 
These were the opening edition. Homecoming, and 
Christmas editions. There were also 31 other fine 
issues in this the Pioneer News’ thirtieth year of 
publication. 

A new innovation of this year’s paper was the 
Christmas coloring book. This was prepared as a 
special project in Mrs. Gates’ senior composition 
class. These same classes also wrote poetry for the 
Christmas edition. 

Sponsor, Mr. George Muir gave much-needed 
advice to the staff and editor, Gary Gardner com¬ 
bined to give G.R.C. a sterling example of top-notch 
journalism. 


Feature Editor Mary Steliga and Sports Editor Ron Burk 
of the Pioneer News confer on their weekly assignments.

Accurately documenting the school year 1962- 
1963 was the prime objective of the Powder Horn 
staff. Work started in the spring of 1962 when 
editor Jean Tolchinsky chose her staff and started 
preparing them for their jobs. During the summer 
at the Indiana High School Journalism Institute, 
the yearbook theme was decided on and the dummy 
was prepared. In August senior portraits were 
snapped at the Dressier Studio. 

After school had started, the different com¬ 
mittees swung into action. Taking pictures, writing, 
soliciting adds, holding subscription drives, and typ¬ 
ing composed the major work. Numerous consulta¬ 
tions between Mr. Muir and staff members smooth¬ 
ed out the endless difficulties. Everyone hurried 
to meet the dreaded deadlines. 

Over a year of planning and hard work produced 
the 1963 Powder Horn. At the Senior Banquet and 
the Signature Swing in June, the anxious students 
received their long-awaited yearbooks.

Punting or passing, shooting or dribbling, batting

a Clark athlete has tried it. Through interschool 
and intraschool competition Clark’s sportsmen 
build themselves physically and mentally. Fair play 
and good sportsmanship are the key qualities for which 
Clarkites strive. By these means they are in the process 
of reaching their competitive peak of success.

was shutout 0-5. The Pioneers came back to win 
their last conference match of the season by de¬ 
feating East Chicago Roosevelt 4-1. 

During the season two non-conference matches 
were held with Gary Roosevelt. Only underclass¬ 
men participated in these matches. Clark won the 
first match 5-0 and won the second one 3-2. 

Because of graduation, four lettermen will be 
lost from this year’s team. They are Ron Burk, 
Mark Duray, Cliff Liehe, and Mark Trombley. Den 
Burk, Tom Snider, and Charles Wolf will be re¬ 
turning lettermen for next year’s team. 



Willowy Ron Burk puts forth a superior effort in reaching 
for a high and difficult shot.

Inspired Pioneers Weaken Roosevelt Myth 



Sophomore fullback Paul Miskus is anything but happy as 
he’s buried by Froebel’s line. Clark lost this one, 20-12. 


Clark’s 1962 football team fought through a 
heavy nine game schedule with a final 2-5-2 record. 
Three disappointing losses, Morton 33-6, Froebel 20- 
12, and Tech 18-6, combined with a 32-0 loss to 
Indiana’s state championship team Hammond High 
for the Pioneer’s four one-sided defeats. 

The Pioneer’s greatest moment came in the sec¬ 
ond ball game of the season. Clark clawed and 
hustled its way to a 0-0 tie with powerful E. C. 
Roosevelt. Harnessing the best of their defensive 
strength, Clark stalled the single-wing power of 
the Rough Riders. Following Roosevelt, Washington 
clipped Clark 13-0. Once more the defensive line 
gave a strong performance. Clark faltered again 
later in the season as they tied Highland 0-0. 

Late in the schedule Gavit became the Pioneers 
first victim 7-0. It was a costly victory however 
as guard A1 Lewandowski suffered a broken foot. 
The following week, Clark ended the season with a 
historic victory over cross-town foe Whiting. When 
Jack Deshincoe took Bill Gulvas’ pass across the 
goal line, it marked the first time either team had 
been shut out two years in succession as Clark won 
7-0. The Pioneers closed out their 1962 season on a 
winning note and looked forward to better times.

Shut Out Whiting 7-0 



Larry King reaches for a Gulvas “Bullet”, but a Governor 
end snatches the ball for an interception. 


Halfback King has his eyes on the goal, his hands on the 
ball and will soon be on the ground as a Governor eyes a 
quick tackle. 


A possible “center of traction” . . . that’s the prospect 
for ball carrier Bill Gulvas as he rips off short yardage.

Clark’s lesser lights, the freshmen, glowed for 
only one victory and a tie in an otherwise dark sea¬ 
son. The Homesteaders gained a 6-6 tie with Ham¬ 
mond Tech on the merits of Phil Dedinsky’s lone 
touchdown. Tom Strbjak contributed the winning 
score as Clark won its next game 7-0 at Whiting’s 
expense. 

The rest of the season brought little to applaud. 
After falling to Gavit 25-0, powerful Hammond 
High shelled the Homesteaders 42-0. Morton dealt 
Clark its final defeat in grand fashion as the hap¬ 
less Homesteaders stumbled to a 45-0 loss. 

Clark’s youngest Pioneers finished the season 
1-1-3 with a determination to resolve this year’s 
inexperience at next year’s varsity level. 


Clark’s B-Squad football team, despite a rather 
poor record, showed the promise important to fu¬ 
ture success. After an opening 20-0 loss to Morton, 
they bounced back for a 6-6 tie with Hammond Tech. 

The consistently improving Settlers lost their 
next contest to East Chicago Roosevelt 7-0. Clark’s 
defense dominated the game, however, and forced 
E. C. R. into numerous and glaring mistakes. 

The Settlers concluded their 1963 campaign as 
they dropped a close one 14-12 to Hammond High. 
The Clark outfit led at the half 12-0 as junior Har¬ 
vey Crouch rallied the Settler offense for two 
scores. Clark tired in the second half and yielded 
a pair of touchdowns and the game to the Wild- 
kittens. The Settlers’ final record read 0-3-1.

Clark’s cross-country team, coached by Mr. Ed 
Shields, posted a hard-fought 7-10 record this, past 
season. The harriers started and ended their season 
on high notes with wins over Highland and Whiting 
respectively. The harriers could not, however, find 
the formula to keep up this pace throughout the 
rest of the sometime snowy and rainy season. 

Even though the harriers had a losing season, 
they look forward to a better season next year 
with Tom Milanowski being the only loss. 

Although lacking in wins, the harriers did not 
lack in effort this year. Bob Hatczel brought the 
Tri-City championship to Clark along with a rec¬ 
ord-breaking time of 8:06 for the mile and five- 
eighths course. The harriers also soundly defeated 
cross-town rival Whiting on three occasions. 

Because of these achievements and the fact that 
a veteran team will be returning, the cross-country 
team hopes for a better showing next year. 


Bob Hatczel and Tom Milanowski were the “take-charge” 
men for coach Shields’ cross country team. Both of them 
are shown here practicing at Forsythe Park.

Clark’s grapplers opened their season with a 
sound defeat at Lowell. This set the pace for a 
dismal 2-10 season record. The matmen followed 
their first loss with another one at T. F. South. 
In this match they garnered only one individual 
victory and lost. Some improvement was seen when 
the Clark team lost a close contest to Highland. 

Clark finally met with success on the wrestling 
mat when the grapplers trounced Lew Wallace in 
a sparkling victory. After this feat the Pioneer 
team dropped six consecutive dual meets. Clark was 
defeated by Tech, Tolleston, state champion Ham¬ 
mond High, Valpo, E. C. Roosevelt, and Crown 
Point. The second victory of the season for the 
grapplers came when they defeated E. C. Washing¬ 
ton. The season ended with a loss to Morton. 

In the Western Division Tourney the Clark team 
was only able to place seventh. However, Stephen 
Leland and Danny Galatzer each placed second. The 
wrestlers fared better at the Sectional Tournament 
by placing fifth with two individual seconds, a 
third, and three fourths. Hopes for a more re¬ 
spectable record next season are based on eight 
returning lettermen.

Win Two in Sectionals 


Clark shook off a mid-season slump and finished 
the 1962-63 basketball season with a record of 13 
wins and 10 losses. Two early victories by a total 
margin of two points depleted the Pioneer scoring 
punch as they managed only 10 field goals during a 
53-28 loss to Sounth Bend Washington. 

The Pioneers made their first venture of the 
season in the Western Division a wild success as 
they slammed highly touted Hammond High, 60-42. 
A glove-like defense throttled the Wildcats while 
Clark raced to an early lead in the conference. 

Prior to the holiday season, the courtmen won 
58-54 at E. C. Roosevelt, then fell to Tolleston 
69-44 and South Bend St. Joseph’s 63-60. In the 
Holiday Tourney Clark exhibited top-flight scoring 
balance and nipped Bishop Noll 63-62. In this con¬ 
test Whiting defeated the Pioneers 44-43 in the final. 

The new year saw Clark shelling Lew Wallace, 
86-63. Clark then dropped three games in a row, 
losing 54-49 to Whiting, 61-47 to Washington, and 
75-63 to Valpo. Later in the season the Pioneers 
laid Tech and Horace Mann to rest by wide margins. 
After whipping Gavit 73-42, Morton and Griffith 
stopped Clark in successive outings. Emerson and 
Froebel breathed their last as the Pioneers ended 
their season with two decisive victories. 

For the third time in as many years, Clark won 
their way to the semi-finals of the Sectional but 
dropped the afternoon contest. With the sectionals 
behind them, Clark bases next season’s hopes on a 
full complement of lettermen at all positions.

B-Team, Frosh Cain Victories over Whiting 


This year the Freshman team posted a 3-12 rec¬ 
ord. The first five games of the season were lost 
to Valparaiso, Morton, T. F. North, E. C. Roosevelt, 
and Hammond High respectively. 

The Homesteaders gained their first victory over 
Morton, 41-39. They were then defeated by Tech, 
Whiting, Gavit, and E. C. Washington, but they 
won against Calumet Township, 39-38. 

In the city tournament the Frosh were eliminated 
by Gavit, 53-33. They were then again defeated by 
E. C. Roosevelt, 46-44. In their second game with 
Whiting the Frosh reversed the score of their first 
encounter and won 30-28. They ended the season 
with a 72-45 loss to T. F. North. 


The B-Squad team started its season poorly by 
losing to South Bend Riley, South Bend Washing¬ 
ton, Hammond High, E. C. Roosevelt, Tolleston, and 
South Bend St. Joseph respectively. In the Holiday 
Tourney at Tech the Settlers first defeated Whiting 
and then E. C. Roosevelt, but finally lost to Tech. 

After starting the new year with wins over Lew 
Wallace, 50-26, and Whiting, 39-36, the Settlers 
were defeated by E. C. Washington, Valpo, Tech, 
and Gavit. They came back to gain a victory over 
Morton with a score of 52-48. In the Michigan City 
Tourney the B-Squad lost out to Michigan City, 
43-35, and South Bend St. Joseph, 39-37, giving 
them a 5-13 record for the 1962-63 basketball season.

Victories

(top) and Jim Eberle (bottom) improve their techniques as 
their teammates watch their attempts. 



Clark’s golf team, coached by Mr. Ray Buell, 
ended its season with a conference record of 5 
wins and 11 losses. This record earned the turfmen 
the sixth place spot in the Western Division. 

In conference play, the turfmen were victorious 
over Horace Mann, Gary Emerson, and Hammond 
Tech. The Pioneers were victorious over E. C. 
Roosevelt twice during the season. 

Highlighting the season play were two tourneys; 
the Lake Hills Invitational, and the Sectionals. 
In the Lake Hills Invitational, the four top players 
on the team shot a total of 375 to place 16 out of 
23 teams. Later in Sectional play, the Pioneer divot- 
makers shot 377 to place 17 out of 24 teams. 

The Pioneers had only one senior on the team 
this year, so the returning players should improve 
on last year’s record because of the experience 
gained in a year of underclass varsity play. 

This year there will be three returning lettermen. 
These lettermen are: Jim Eberle, Ken Kantowski, 
and Den Burk. Also earning letters this year were 
Jack Taylor, who was the lone graduating senior 
on the team, and Greg Gross.

13 Lettermen Return 


Clark’s track team, led by thirteen underclass¬ 
men, opened the 1962 season with the city indoor 
meet at the University of Chicago Fieldhouse. 
The Pioneers managed 221/2 points, which was good 
enough for third place. High point of the meet 
was sophomore Harvey Crouch, who captured first 
in the 440-yard dash with a time of 54.9 seconds. 
A week later the Pioneers and Coach Steve Stavros 
returned to the U. of C. Fieldhouse for the Con¬ 
ference Indoor. The cindermen fared well. 

Clark played host to Valparaiso in the first dual 
meet of the year. The Vikings crushed the Clark 
Hopefuls 74-34. The thinclads regained their con¬ 
fidence by placing first in every event and 1-2 in 
six events against rival Whiting. The final tally 
read 92-16 in favor of Clark. But the glory was 
short-lived. Morton bombed the Pioneers 87-20. 

Coach Stavros found T. F. North more to his 
liking as he led the cindermen to a 63-46 victory. 
Continuing the streak, Clark soared to a 72-36 win 
over the Trojans of Highland. 

After competing in the Hammond Relays, the 


trackmen journeyed to Tech for a triangular meet 
with the Tigers and Gary Lew Wallace. In conten¬ 
tion but not in the money, the thinclads garnered 
501/2 points for second place. Clark next competed 
in the relays at Chesterton. Jack Deschincoe cap¬ 
tured first in the shot put with a heave of 48’. 

Returning home, the Pioneers welcomed Bishop 
Noll to Clark Field for a dual meet. The cindermen 
found the visitors stubborn but not unbeatable. The 
final score card pegged Clark the victor, 58-51. 
Closing out the season the track team ventured to 
LaPorte for the latter’s Invitational. Clark found 
the competition much too tough. Clark finished the 
season at the Hammond City Outdoor Meet. 

While lettering thirteen underclassmen, Coach 
Steve Stavros lost only three to graduation. Fresh¬ 
man Bob Hatczel set the city freshmen mile record, 
and junior Jack Deschincoe improved steadily. The 
mile relay team came within five seconds of break¬ 
ing the school record. With such prospects as these 
and with continued hard work, the outlook for 
1963 can be nothing but bright.

Pioneers Third in Western Division Race 


Behind the capable leadership of Emerson Aid- 
rich, the hardballers of G.R.C. played even .500 
baseball while capturing third place in the Western 
Division standings. Adding non-conference games, 
stickmen finished with an 8 and 7 record. 

The stickmen collected 12 hits in the season’s 
opener to dump Highland by a score of 11-2. The 
team then traveled to Lowell where they picked up 
a 13-0 victory by slamming out an identical total 
of hits. The team’s home debut was spoiled by a 
scrappy Governor squad (8-1), and Crown Point’s 
Bulldogs showed a balanced attack while slipping 
by the stickmen 6-4. The last non-conference game 
was a slim 4-3 victory over Calumet Twp., with 
the winning run crossing the plate in the bottom 
half of the seventh. 

Jeff Render pitched a brilliant two-hitter in the 
team’s first Western Division game, which the stick¬ 
men won 2-0 over Whiting. The hardballers w-ere 
once again defeated, this time by E. C. Roosevelt. 
In this game the team took a 4-3 lead, only to lose 
by a 5-4 score. Recovering, the diamondmen stopped 


E. C. Washington 14-1 and Tech 13-2. In the two 
games the Pioneers’ hit total was 20, and the pitch¬ 
ers yielded only a scanty eight hits. Rain postponed 
a few games, both conference and non-conference, 
but the baseballers quickly returned to action. First- 
round play was ended with a 5-4 defeat at the hands 
of Hammond High. 

The second-round opener found the hardballers 
absorbing their worst defeat of the season, (7-2) 
from a powerful E. C. Roosevelt team. The stick¬ 
men beat a much-improved Whiting team by a score 
of 8-7. This game was a 13-inning marathon, and 
ended in an Oiler strike-out with men on base. The 
following week it was a differentrstory as the Wild¬ 
cats held the team to two hits and no runs. The 
hardballers beat Tech, but ended the season by los¬ 
ing to E. C. Washington a close score of 6-5. 

Chuck Freeland led all regulars with a .315 aver¬ 
age. He also banged out 12 hits and scored 12 
runs, enough to capture first in both departments. 
In the R.B.I.’s category, Jeff Render led with 9 
for the season.

Physical Education Program Diversifies 



Tarzan, Joe Vargo, savagely clings to the rope 
tempts to climb to the top during Mr. Franklin’s 


as he at- 
gym class. 



Both males and females at Clark took part in 
the physical education program, of which four se¬ 
mesters were required of all students. The program 
was organized in such a way as to provide a variety 
of activities in which the students could participate. 

Girls, under the direction of Miss Doris Myers 
and Miss Jackie Bruno, took part in many activities. 
They learned poise, good sportmanship, and the 
skills of athletics. They participated in sports such 
as basketball, volleyball, and baseball. Even the 
trampoline was used by the girls for a short period 
of time to keep physically fit. 

Boys’ gym classes, under the instruction of Coach 
Joe Franklin, also included varied activities. Practic¬ 
ing calisthenics was an important, although hardly 
popular, method of getting the boys in shape. The 
boys took part in football, basketball, and baseball 
during the appropriate seasons. Emphasis was also 
placed on certain carry-over sports which could be 
played later on in life. Instruction was given in 
sports such as bowling, golf, and fishing, and even 
trap shooting and hunting. During free time in 
gym classes the boys could climb the rope, walk 
the ladder, do chins on the chinning bar, or skip 
rope in order to build up their stamina. 













Mihalo Directs Tumblers in Second Year 


The Tumbling Club, under the leadership of Joe 
Franklin, entered its second year as an organized 
club. George Mihalo was elected president. Serving 
with him were Warren Prickett, vice-president, and 
Bob Seth, secretary-treasurer. 

It has long been the wish of Coach Franklin 
that a club such as this could be organized. He feels 
that a boy with gymnastic ability should be given 
the chance to develop this ability. He also hopes 
that one day we will have much of the gymnastic 
equipment that we now lack. 

The Tumbling Club was formed for boys not out 
for athletics and no longer taking gym. The boys 
meet on each Wednesday to work and practice for 
the tumbling meets that are scheduled during the 
year. On these days the boys work on new stunts 
and routines, while also polishing the basic funda¬ 
mentals that must be learned. During the year 
tumbling meets are held with the different high 
schools in the city. In the spring the boys highlight 
the year with a picnic at Wicker Park.

Girls Stress Fitness and 


Interested G.A.C. bowlers discuss the rules and procedures 
for their yearly tournament at Parkview Bowling Lanes. 


The three busdrivers will agree that “Ice Cream 
for G.A.C.” was an appropriate title for the annual 
G.A.C. picnic, and the G.A.C.ers sang their way to 
and from Marquette Park in Gary. During the 
picnic, the girls took part in relays, volleyball, pie¬ 
eating and treasure hunt contests, and even a few 
games of touch football. 

G.A.C. sweaters seemed to have been a real in¬ 
centive this year. Participation in the four sports 
was higher than ever before. While participating 
in softball, swimming, bowling, and basketball, the 
girls earned points towards their letters. A volley¬ 
ball tourney was also added. 

At the Mother-Daughter Banquet, held at the 
end of the year, awards are presented, new mem¬ 
bers are initiated, and letters, monograms or num¬ 
erals are presented to those girls with the required 
amount of points. Girls acquiring one-hundred fifty 
points are eligible to receive their sweaters with 
the numeral. Two-hundred fifty points are required 
to receive the monogram and three-hundred points 
are required to receive the letter. 

Under the sponsorship of Miss Doris Myers, the 
Girls’ Athletic Club has increased considerably the 
last few years. Keeping its members fit, trim, and 
healthy is the main goal of G.A.C. 


Fun in G.A.C. 


Pepsi is in unusual demand as the G.A.C. girls take up 
the task of selling their goodies. G.A.C. provides this useful 
service at all Pioneer home football games.

Activities Increase under 


C-Club Plan 


With the able leadership from co-sponsors, Mr. 
Ed Shields and Mr. Richard Daugherty, plus high- 
spirited willingness to co-operate, this year’s C-Club 
established itself as one of the most active or- 
ganziations in our school. Boys automatically be¬ 
come a member of C-Club after they earn a major 
letter on the interschool competition basis. 

Some of the club’s major undertakings were 
selling programs at all home football games and 
selling popcorn at various home athletic events. 
A letterman jacket was presented to a sick letter 
holder who has been confined to bed for the past 
year. An annual C-Club dance in the latter part of 
the year and two parties for club members rounded 
out the social events for the boys. Highlighting 
all was the annual banquet at which time awards 
for the year were presented. 

Most of the money accumulated during the year 
was spent to procure trophies and other rewards for 
deserving members. What remained was stored 
in the treasury for future use. 

As leaders in the school, C-Club members dis¬ 
play sportsmanship, school spirit, and above all 
gentlemanly attitude in all their activities. 


President A1 Lewandowski, sponsor Mr. Ed Shields, and Jack 
DeShincoe present bed-ridden Marty Gajdos with his jacket.

Laughing or crying, walking or running, playing or 
working, eating or sleeping . . . which ever it may be, one 
can be assured someone at Clark is doing it. While 
each person at Clark is an individual, each wants to be 
one of the group. Although everybody is searching 
for his peak of success, all are trying to reach some goal. 
Whether it be teacher or student, one will find this 
type of individual at George Rogers Clark. 



PEOPLE 













The Administration Overcomes Problems 

As the principal here at Clark, Mr. Durward D. 
Lockey is kept quite busy supervising the activities 
of the entire school, dealing with unexpected prob¬ 
lems, and handling important school business. 

Although most of his free time is spent with his 
wife and two daughters, Mr. Lockey still finds time 
for other interests. He is a past President of the 
Hammond Lions Club, and is still very active in 
the organization. Mr. Lockey is a member of the 
board of the First Methodist Church in Hammond, 
and enjoys teaching Sunday school. He is also vice- 
president of the City Council of the P.T.A. In the 
past he has served as a colonel in the Community 
Chest Drive. 

His hobbies include all types of sports. He likes 
to golf, to bowl with the faculty team, and is 
Clark’s Number One booster. Mr. Lockey also en¬ 
joys gardening, especially raising flowers. 

Now in his second year here, Mr. Lockey says 
that he likes Clark very much. He commends Clark 
students for their friendliness, school spirit, and 
fine attitude toward their studies. He advises all 
students, that throughout life “When you play, play 
hard, and when you work, work hard.” 


Principal D. D. Lockey stops a moment during his busy 
schedule to catch up on necessary reading. A moment of 
peace and quiet is a rare one for our conscientious principal. 




Mr. Lockey converses with Dr. Tatum, former principal of 
Roosevelt High School following a monthly PTA meeting. 


Mr. Lockey and Miss Morrison, Clark’s art teacher, relax 
during a well-deserved coffee break.

and Plans for the Future 



HAMMOND SCHOOL BOARD—Mrs. Margaret Allen; Dr. Henry Eggers, president; Mr. Leo 
Bereolas, treasurer; Mrs. Claire Stern, secretary; Mr. Charles Scott. 


Another busy school year has been completed by 
the Hammond Board of Education. The board is 
made up of trustees elected by the people, and is 
headed by Dr. Henry Eggers, president of the five 
member group and R. B. Miller, Superintendent of 
Hammond Public School System. 

The board is responsible for the building of addi¬ 
tional educational facilities, the purchasing of land 


and school equipment, the appointment and transfer 
of teachers, and dealing with the various problems 
which arise during the school year. 

Much of the work done by the board is often not 
apparent to the students, but this is not always the 
case. Many changes and repairs seen throughout the 
building, such as new desks and fluorescent lights, 
are the result of work done by the board.

1963 will mark the end of Superintendent R. B. 
Miller’s long and dedicated career in education. 
Throughout his career, Mr. Miller has worked tire¬ 
lessly to fulfill his goal, which is “To render an 
important service to the youth of America.” 

After attending high schools in Illinois and 
Missouri, Mr. Miller entered Central Weslyan College 
in Warrenton, Missouri. He completed work on his 
B.A. degree at the University of Chicago. He did 
graduate work at Columbia University where he ob¬ 
tained his M.A. degree. Mr. Miller has since done 
additional graduate work at Indiana University and 
the University of Chicago. 

In 1915 Mr. Miller started teaching in Watson, 
Illinois, after which he taught for a single year at 
Whiting High School. From 1922-1926, he taught 
at Irving School. This was the first of many posi¬ 


tions he was to fill in the Hammond school system. 
He next served as principal of Franklin Jr. High 
School for six years. In 1932 Mr. Miller became 
principal at Clark. Throughout his eighteen year 
stay here, Mr. Miller was very popular with both 
faculty and students. It is said that he could walk 
down the hall and call every student by name. In 
1950 he became Assistant Superintendent of Schools. 
In 1959, he was named the new Superintendent. 

Mr. Miller has held many positions and received 
many honors in connection with education. He has 
also been active in the community as a member of 
the American Legion, Masonic Lodge, Lions Club, 
and the Chamber of Commerce. He is married and 
his son Dr. R. Drew Miller is an Associate Director 
of the Mayo Foundation at the famous Mayo 
Brothers Clinic.

Sponsors Place Serious Values on Future 



Miss Doris Myers and Mr. Arthur 
Erickson, sponsors of the senior 
class, plan activities for Com¬ 
mencement and Baccalaureate. 


Dear Seniors: 

“Too bad that youth is wasted upon young people,” wrote George Bernard Shaw. 
However, we don’t believe it has been wasted upon the young people of the Class of 1963! 

At times your enthusiasm and energy almost overwhelmed us; you used them with 
such conscious responsibility and exciting creativity that open pride was our emotion. 

Your presence has made a difference for us. We hope that these bright stars of 
youthful purpose will shine through your eyes again and again. We want you to make 
a joyous difference for the lives of all of those with whom you share the years ahead. 

“Should auld acquaintance be forgot and ne’er brought to mind?” Every year will 
bring reunion if we keep our youth, our stars, the pioneering spirit!

Numerous Activities Occupy a Senior's

CLASS OFFICERS: B. Gulvas, v-president; L. Ruf, co¬ 
treasurer; J. Stasny, president; J. Pietrzak, secretary; P. 
Yancich, co-treasurer. 


“The pen is mightier than the sword” . . . And senior Dan 
Pramuk proves it while putting finishing touches to the 
class float, “Roll Thoz Tigers” 



We, the class of 1963, formed high ideals and 
goals to guide us through our four years at G.R.C. 
Our freshman officers were Jim Stasny, president; 
Jean Tolchinsky, vice-president; Sue Eaton, secre¬ 
tary; and Mark Trombley, treasurer. Our sponsors 
during our freshman year were Rhoda Kittelsen and 
Boyd Scarborough. Our freshman dance, “Hula-la,” 
was the most successful dance of the school year. 

Our first undertaking as sophomores was the con¬ 
struction of a class float, “Give ’Em The ’Ole Heave 
Ho.” After selecting our class rings, we began work 
on the class dance, “Bullwinkle’s Bounce” which 
proved to be a huge success as was the dance in 
our freshman year. 

Our junior year proved to be a challenge to our 
talents and capabilities. Mr. Arthur Erickson and 
Miss Doris Myers, our new sponsors, helped us to 
gain the success for which we strived. To our great 
disappointment, our class float, “Knock ’Em Down 
with One Blow,” was not considered for competi¬ 
tion in the Homecoming parade because of late 


entry. A few months later we eagerly awaited the 
announcement of the cast for our class play, The 
Matchmaker. Next on our busy schedule was the 
class dance, “Roaring Twenties.” Two chorus lines 
composed of junior students performed a Charleston 
for the amusement of many spectators. The climax 
of our junior year was on June 1, 1962, when we 
presented our prom “In the Still of the Night.” 

After three years of an uphill struggle, we ar¬ 
rived on top. We were seniors. We would work on 
our last Homecoming, make our final entry in the 
parade, choose our queen, perform in the senior 
skit, vote for our final officers, and hold our last 
dance, “Memories are Made of This . . .” which 
was a huge scrapbook commemorating the events of 
previous years. Following Baccalaureate and Com¬ 
mencement many of us will still retain the battle 
scars received from working on dances, on floats, 
on cars, in committees, on plays, in athletic com¬ 
petition, and in scholastic competition, but they are 
mementos of four wonderful years at Clark.

A Touch of the Orient 

JUNIOR OFFICERS: FRONT ROW—D. Stombaugh, treas¬ 
urer; M. Popovich, secretary; W. Wood, co-president. 
BACK ROW—K. Kantowski, co-president. 

As Juniors the class of 1964 had a busy and suc¬ 
cessful year. Their float for Homecoming won a 
third place ribbon and they took first place in the 
pep assembly yell contest. 

Soon to follow in November came their dance 
and play. The theme of their dance was Shangra-La. 
Exotic Far Eastern decor added to its success. The 
play, Cheaper By The Dozen, brought funds to 
finance the Prom on May 31, 1963.

In their sophomore year the class of 1965 moved 
from the frosh “greenie” category. 

Their class rings, ordered in October, arrived in 
mid-December. The rings worn with pride by the 
sophomores were displayed at every chance. 

The float, “Beat Those Striped Cats,” bedecked 
with beatniks, won fourth place and started the 
year off right for the sophomores.

Class of 64, Clark's 

FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICERS: Tom Strybjak, president; 
Betty Shimala, treasurer; Sandy Psikula, secretary; Jerry 
Matlon, v-president. 

The greenies began their whirl this year. This 
whirl will get faster and faster until such events as 
their prom and graduation deem an end. 

The choosing of a homecoming attendant was the 
first big step for the Frosh. They set a field of 
four girls from which the student body selected one, 
as in previous years. 

Dances, clubs, games, pep-sessions and the rest 
of the high school activities welcomed the Freshman 
Class to the G.R.C. curriculum.

Buying clothes or buying records, eating pizza or eating 
hamburgers, purchasing senior pictures or ordering 
class rings, saving money or spending it on gasoline . . . 
whichever it may be, one can be assured someone at Clark is 
doing it. Spending money and just having fun are the 
favorite pastimes of Clarkites. They are faithful patrons to 
the yearbook advertisers. In this way, the students help 
the Calumet area merchants reach their peak of business success.

As a member of the Sen¬ 
ior Class, very soon you 
will be making a decision 
regarding a big step into 
the future. Perhaps your 
decision will be to go on for fur¬ 
ther education. Or it may be, you 
will be looking for the job of your 
choice. In either event, this deci¬ 
sion will affect and shape your 
future life in many ways. 

Regardless of what you 
decide, we hope that the 
Inland Steel Company will 
be a part of your future. 

Many graduates are currently involved in 
successful careers here at the Harbor Works 
as part of the nation’s basic steel industry. 

Steel mill work today is highly complex, 
involving automated production lines which 


require people who can be 
trained in skilled jobs. 
Most of the jobs are in¬ 
volved directly in the steel- 
making process while 
others are available in the labora¬ 
tories or in various departmen¬ 
tal offices. Regardless of your 
interests, excellent opportunities 
exist with Inland Steel. 

In addition to excellent 
paying jobs and an out¬ 
standing benefit program, 
Inland offers a variety of on- 
the-job training programs 
plus the Purdue-Inland Program. This Program, 
offered to a full time employee, provides training in 
the areas of steelmaking, mechanics, and electricity. 

Plan now to investigate the many opportuni¬ 
ties for your future with Inland Steel Company. 


WHAT IS 
YOUR 
FUTURE?

One more Poivder Horn is completed and so is 
one terrific year. Aside from a few traumas, head¬ 
aches, and near heart attacks the staff has come 
through and completed the book. There is no way 
to express appreciation to the staff, students, fac¬ 
ulty, and businessmen who have co-operated to 
make this book possible. All I can do is say 
“THANKS” to every “cutie” and “bush” who has 
helped. There were times when I wasn’t sure if it 
could be done. So, I yelled and screamed, and 
threatened—and in return got barked at, criticized, 
and ignored. But through all this came an experi¬ 
ence which I know I shall never forget. 

To tell the story of Clark would require several 
volumes and demand full-time employment. I have 
tried to do it in one book, a few hours a day. 
If I have accomplished my goal—to tell the 1963 
story—I will have “climbed every mountain” which 
has been presented to me.
